This censtats of lime, sulphuric aud bydroebtorlo acids prin cipally, these chemicals are probably an ad vantage te our water new, rendering It purer by uniting with the sewerage and producing harmless compounds, but If the sewerega Is taken from the water they will be mere In jurious.

The Conrstega run through farming dis trict, It water abed la nearly all cleared land, heavy rains make the water very muddy and we should have two large setting reservoirs and a small one where the water would be llltered through nrat, sand and gravel, and then through charcoal. At tUnck's mill there I net room ter such res res ervnlrs. Above Blukley's bridge a point could be selected aeverat feet higher than Hauck'a mill thereby saving fuel and ma chinery in pumping. The cost would be considerably mere than at tbe proposed place, principally In uialna the tranafer of the machinery would net coat much mere and the site would coat lea Fer these reasons we are In f.vei of increasing the debt te an amount suillcleut te place tbe water works above all possible future soure-a or contami nation.
